Chris Bosh on First Take

[chicagoceltic]

Did anyone else see Chris Bosh on First Take today?  I have always been a Bosh fan and respect him even more after seeing him on First Take today.  He showed nothing but class today when faced by Skip Bayless who all year lambasted him with the "Bosh Spice" nickname.  Unlike Wade and LBJ, Bosh seems like a sincere, honest and likeable guy.  He is soft-spoken, well-spoken young man that I would love to see playing for the Celtics (I am NOT saying I think he will be playing for the Celtics).  Are there any other Bosh fans out there on CB?

Bosh showed an enormous amount of modesty and class walking down that aisle flexing preseason with the messiah and wade.

That said, he's a pretty well-spoken guy and was great on both Mike and Mike and First Take.

Not a big fan of his on-court game.  As a PF, his game is too finesse-oriented for my liking.  Not a great defender either.

As far as his personality is concerned, he does actually seem to be a likeable person.  Seems humble, unlike his two cohorts down there in South Beach.

I don't know.  I saw that as more of sheer enthusiasm, as opposed to "hey look at me!".

I liked the way Bosh explained that...he said it was for the fans and that he had fun doing it and would do it again because he had fun.  When it was pointed out that that celebration would put the bullseye on their backs he astutely answered something along the lines that the bullseye would have been on their backs regardless so why not have fun and put on a show for their fans.  IMO, it still should not have happened but it was interesting to hear Bosh's view of it.

I do believe he is humble and down to earth and that's cool, but I'm not a fan. I think he's one of the softest star bigmen in the NBA and highly overrated. He makes me appreciate KG a lot more because they are built almost identically and have a lot of the same physical tools yet KG is so much more dominant.

I think he did fine and the panel agreed too. He's still a tool though.

But the biggest tool award went to Skip who just sucked right up to Bosh and the Heat. Now he is entitled to his opinion but it just felt weird how excited he was getting. Bosh possibly best at his position today? Really?? That's just too much. Such disrespect for KG and Duncan. I'd even take GaSoft over Bosh.

Such disrespect for KG and Duncan. I'd even take GaSoft over Bosh.

Dirk?

Dirk?

Amare, Griffin, West, Love, Aldridge, Z.Randolph.

So that's 10 forwards aruably better than Bosh. BTW, West is the only questionable.

I Bosh is a talent and a nice guy.   But he is a little wimpy at times for my taste.   He came to play in the finals more than LeBron did.   But dude is a crybaby!

Pure class.

 KG and TD, I love them, Bosh is a great player but he is very irregular and his defense is bad.
